From the Museum Collection: Print, photographic. 1876-1885. Albumen. Locomotive No. 9, "W.F. Hallstead." 4-4-0 camelback-type. Elaborately painted and striped including "3-dimensional" "DL&W" on tender; oil headlamp, link & pin coupler. Fireman leans near stylized "WFH" on rear cab, engineer glowers from center cab window. Mounted on board. Damaged by moisture, mildew, bugs. Upper right area is missing. Image has peeled away in several spots. William Finn Hallstead was a vice president and general manager of the Lackawanna Railroad. Mr. Hallstead was one of the city’s pioneers and one of its wealthiest citizens. He figured prominently in the development of the DL&W railroad company and was once its vice-president and general manager. Hallstead was born in Benton township in 1836. At the age of fifteen he became a teamster transporting supplies to the builders of the Leggett’s Gap Railroad. When the line was finished, he became a flagman and then a conductor of a repair and construction train. From there he held many more positions and eventually became second vice president and general manager of the Lackawanna. Under Hallstead’s administration of the Lackawanna railroad system the road was extended from Binghamton to Buffalo. He retired on July 1, 1899 and died in February 1908. Some questions about this photograph. According to the DL&W roster of locomotives none of the 4-4-0s were built before 1901. There was no locomotive No. 9. So, date of photograph wrong? Why is Hallstead’s name on the locomotive? Could find nothing on this. What is the story behind this photograph? The roster has a total of 27 4-4-0s made by ALCO between 1901-1903 (#973-999), 15 made by Baldwin in 1904 (#958-972), 12 made by ALCO in 1905 (#944-955), and 11 made between 1910-1911 by ALCO (#933-943).
